Premium paint,
applied the way it should be.
Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, Paint & Paper Library, Edward Bulmer and Mylands — decorators who know the products, the right primers and undercoats, and how to get the depth of colour these paints are bought for.
Why premium paint needs
a decorator who knows it.
Farrow & Ball and Little Greene are bought for their depth of colour and chalky, flat finishes — and those same qualities make them less forgiving than trade paint. Estate Emulsion marks easily and needs the right primer and undercoat tinted to the topcoat; Modern Emulsion and Intelligent Matt are more durable but still need proper preparation to look their best.
The cost difference is mostly the paint itself — Farrow & Ball costs around three to four times a trade emulsion per litre — plus a little extra time for the tinted undercoat and the care needed at cutting-in. On a two-bedroom flat the upgrade typically adds £400–£900 to a standard repaint.
Tom Harvey Contractors provides free site visits and itemised written quotes within 48 hours, and we'll advise honestly on where premium paint makes a difference and where a trade equivalent will do the same job.
